Ramos posted:緑 = Green Actually, the Japanese word for 'blue' is more accurately 'blue/green', not merely 'blue'. (It's just almost always translated as 'blue', unless doing so would be inaccurate.)

Ramos posted:Ah, that's pretty interesting actually. Though since Japanese is largely derived from Chinese, it makes me wonder if the Chinese were similar in that regard. Though a quick look on Wikipedia shows that this is common enough through various languages to need its own article. Yup. For East Asian languages & culture, a lot of peculiarities are a direct result of ancient Chinese culture and letters, not just the original lack of a separate word for green. (This includes the Japanese inability to handle L/R well.)
